Hi fellow MFP travelers. I am a 58 year old female who is starting on the journey of getting healthy and fit. The past 10 years I have put my health and fitness on the "off" burner and now I have about 60 lbs. to lose and am desirous of making contact with others to build a support community. I know I can't do this alone. I live in a rural area, I'm single, I also own horses so any horse-lovers/riders out there please say hello!

    I am such a newbie at this networking. Can anyone tell me if they connect their MFP with their Facebook how that is working out? I am also interested in building community.

    Hey there, I'm 53, understand the 'weight and being older' thing! Feel free to add me as a friend, and you've found the most amazing, supportive group of people on MFP to help you as you move forward!

    Hi there. I'm new to MFP. Just got it going 2 days ago. Ready to start, but not sure where to begin? Maybe some support could be a first. :)

    Hi. I am relatively new. I was on MFP but fell by the wayside. I keep losing and gaining the same pounds but never get past a certain threshold. I'm turning 62 and want to finally win the weight battle. I need more support and I'm good at encouraging others. I am going to send you a friend request and I hope you accept.

    Hi,

    I'm 58 also, needing to drop about 70#. Have had horses all my life, until about a week ago! Currently have llamas, chickens, and of course cats & dogs. Live in a semi rural area... Add me if you like, I'm looking for pals with similar goals and lifestyle.
